Interestingly enough, aside from the male gay porn stars who died of AIDS, the major cause of death amongst the other porn stars is from drug overdose, whether intentional or not. Suicide also features high on the list. AIDS and drug overdoses and suicide - seems like occupational hazards that come with the territory.

damn. i dont mean to sound rude, but thats a performer i'd hoped to never see or hear from again. accidently rented a video with her/him in it and man was i shocked when i popped that in the VCR. just turned 18 and wasnt ready for the T/S show. still have bad memories there (no offense, just isnt my bag of tea)

I don't think it's the porn work perse that causes the drug use and/or suicide. I think it's more or less an established fact that a pretty good portion of porn performers have experienced abuse is their past that drew them to or allowed them to participate in porn as performers. It's not the majority or anything but the percentages are higher I believe than in any other industry. Hence, I think the OD's and suicides stem more from the life before porn than the porn itself.

Peter van Aarle who has a better way with words than I do says: "She apparently had had psychological problems for a long time. Those made her, from time to time, try to hide in small corners and spaces.

One day she apparently had another one of those episodes and hid in a very small hole in the wall. I don't remember the details but she either got stuck and suffocated, or had some sort of seizure, and died there."

Towards the end of her life she began to suffer from severe mental problems, one of which was an irrational, deathly fear of large rooms. On the day of her death she apparently punched a hole in the wall of her apartment to make an area into which she could escape from her living room. She became wedged in the small area she had made, and suffocated.

There was no self-destruction, no bad living, she just had some serious headaches that turned out to be a brain tumor that totally took her away in a painful and slow, miserable way.

She made a lot of money for Private and, from what I've heard, they didn't do too much to help. Nor did any of the US companies she worked for. That's just so sad.

She was an incredibly beautiful, natural looking blonde and she, basically, died alone in a horrible German hospital.

Her sister is trying to raise money for a special headstone and she needs like $5000 or so, I think. Private or any of the Porn companies she worked for here could get that together in less than an hour, but her poor sister is trying to get donations. I'm gonna help and I'm gonna try and see if I can get others to help.

I realize you can't help everyone who needs help, but this story of how she died and how young she was and how little help she got makes me want to do something to say to the poor sister that people don't forget just because there are no porn films coming from Lea.

It's also probably more difficult to get people to show sympathy and get them to help when you're asking help for someone who worked in porn. That's too bad as well.

I imagine people come here and don't even post, so if anyone even just wants to check out her site and read about her, please do.

When she was diagnosed with her medical condition, I ran a link in a few of my reviews for the foundation set up to assist her. She's been discussed all over the place numerous times too (I thought she was extremely hot looking when she signed for Zero Tolerance at the 2004 AVN show).

In any case, the companies that employed her, paid her for services rendered as a contract employee. They're extremely competitive and for all the talk about porn being a $6 to $10 billion dollar industry (which is a load of crap by the way), finding any of the sharks willing to fork over money for such a cause is akin to asking them to provide healthcare benefits for the living (ask Greg Zabory, sic, who tried to provide such coverage once upon a time how well that went over; his company insures a lot of the porn world these days).

Anyway, she didn't die alone; she had family and friends there with her but it was admittedly a tragic loss.

It seems to me I've read more than few articles or heard over the years that Porn companies are kinda known for turning their backs on sick Performers especially if they're suffering from AIDS. LA Weekly had whole thing on a famous male star who was HIV pos and it talked about how the porn industry got all freaked out and just abandoned him. The thought being they're scared shitless of any kind of "black eye" a scandal like that would bring on the industry.

I know people(former porn performers?) have started clinics and health groups to cater to Porn performers and that's a good thing.:up:

HIV almost brought the entire industry down in the mid 90s, they have a pretty sofisticated testing system now and condom use is required by many studios. But nothing is 100% since there was an outbreak last year and they actually had to 'quarantine' a bunch of actors/actresses. I think 2 or 3 performers ended up testing positive.

Yeah I read the article a few years ago and I think it happened during the 90's or around that time. It was sad how people in the indusrty just turned their backs on him. It's also sad that it seems this behavior isn't all that unusual.

I think this was the famous Marc Wallace incident, where the a*shole had unprotected sex for like, weeks after knowing he was infected with HIV.

It was never proven to be Mark "Wallice/Wallace" Goldberg since none of the women would prosecute or sue him in civil court. Basing his guilt on third hand accounts and gossip websites known for their unreliable nature hardly seems fair. I spoke with Bud Lee (a director and personal friend of Goldberg) about it after a well known adult website "consortium" held the matter as absolute fact (going so far as to blackmail companies and alter previous reviews) in support of an industry insider that contracted the disease and his take was somewhat different than the generally accepted view.

The more recent outbreak was similar in that everyone wanted to blame someone without proof; either Lara, Darren, or one of the others but it comes down to personal choices and consumers demanding no condoms in the movies they buy... In any case, after each outbreak, some companies went on to hire the affected individuals or offer employment. Wallace, for example, was picked up to do editing and other behind the scenes work at Elegant Angel, Vivid, Simon Wolf, VCA and others; Platinum X Pictures gave one gal the chance to direct (although she became demanding and stopped doing so), etc...

John Holmes also had unprotected sex with "many" women after he was found to be HIV positive (or with AIDS) in the 80s, though, per the documentary I watched (the one on the backside of the movie "Wonderland") none of the women contracted HIV.

Very interesting documentary, basically Holmes was a kid in an adult body, and with an extremely long penis.

CHLOE's dead!?

Hello folks from France
I have just been warned via ebay-site that this person is recently deceased.
great sadness.
I followed her picture sessions since 1996. the date she began to get famous.
many times before having another......profession someone could consider unacceptable.
anyway! she was a beautiful person.
And I'm very glad having a big photograph collection , most of times collected on the web during the past four years.
The b-side of her is less interesting me .
